Dekker_Tifosi said:yesterday because 1) he's not in form 2) he's not here for gc 3) so the moment he knew he didn't feel well, he didn't bother, saving energy for the rest of thes tages
today he looked good though, one of the few belkins that actually went fast i think

liamito said:anybody has the individual stage results??
TANK91 said:Well I think its stupid doing that, Belkin will be dissapointed relying on Mollema I think. No way Mollema can keep up in the climb with the favs imo. Everyone probably thought doing Giro was good in hindsight but I bet Gesink regrets it now. I think next year he should go for the TDF thee climbs suit him better than the Giro and Vuelta he sucks on steep gradients, Wiggins was even stronger on the first MTF on the steep bit, I don't no what you think? It's weird though Gesink and JVDB have always been in my fav GC men who I cheer for yet no one else like's them. I think JVDB will finish top 5 and he will beat Valverde, Valverde has bad recovery in the TDF its always been like that.

most hyped:
Garmin
the fact that in their interview that this is the core of what the team build upon. And they were confident they can deliver the result. Well, they aren't even in the top 3

gjb483 said:Ted King's SRM data displaying 32:24, ASO saying 32:32.
ASO is so on my s***list right now...
neineinei said:You think they should abandon the official time keeping and go by the riders power meter? Interesting idea.
kottila said:By 6 measly seconds after doing the whole ttt injured on his own. Are they playing hardball this year? Maybe they'll throw out the grupetto if they miss the limit or penalize the sprinters for hanging on to cars
TANK91 said:Thing is he as the Giro in his legs he wont be a factor at is age against these guys even without the Giro. He done great to get 3rd in the Giro but he looked strong early on getting bonus seconds in the Hilly first week and when the Mountains came he could not really respond and in the end he was a little lucky imo. I think we need to wait till AX-3 and the stage after that to really see where he is I predict him going backwards same as TJVG.
Wilba60 said:OGE introduced Svein Tuft to the TdF roster so that it could have a red hot go at the TTT. He has been in both winning TTT teams for Orica at Eneco and Tirreno in 2012. There are 4 members of that Tirreno winning team here in Tuft, O'Grady, Goss and Meyer plus they some excellent additions in Lancaster, Impey, Gerrans, Clarke and Albasini.
With the momentum of winning their first ever TdF stage I think they will give the TTT a real shake.
trevim said:This Ted King issue is such a joke. If it had been Cavendish getting 3 minutes after the limit on a MTF they would keep him aboard. There are rules to be followed but there's also common sense, something ASO or whoever make the call clearly don't have.
It's very easy to be hard with the weak (in this case, unknown riders) riders like King. I hope all the sprinters miss the time cut in the Alps and they throw away 50 riders at once. Also I want to see them throwing away every rider that hold on to cars in the climbs, regardless of who he is.
I'm not attacking Cav or anything, my point is that if some higher profile rider (like Cav) missed the time cut they would probably keep him aboard.Waterloo Sunrise said:Nope, if it was Cav there would be 50 other people in the same group, and he'd be the only one to get any sort of punishment.
The Ted King situation is silly, but no need to go dragging others in to it.
Now Armstrong just helped King make the bags and gojens_attacks said:#lettedride
Dan Boozan @dboozan 1h
If @iamtedking is not allowed to continue at @letour then everyone who supports Ted should not watch tomorrows stage.
Lance Armstrong:
My prediction - my bud and all around good guy, @iamtedking will be starting tomorrow's stage.
seriously? poor maurice brocco sent home in 1911 now that was something ridiculous....not this
Le règlement c'est le règlement !!!
